"She shouldn't have died here."
Seeing him standing in front of Empress Yan, Miss Xu smiled and threw the dagger on the ground: "So be it. I was able to kill that old scoundrel Yan with my own hands, which was also to avenge my father. I hope I will never meet Your Highness again in this life or the next."
Miss Xu stumbled away.
Empress Yan reached out and grabbed the hem of the Seventh Prince's robe, saying haltingly, "A-Yin... save me, save me."
The Seventh Prince bent down and helped her up: "Where is the antidote?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Empress Yan's eyes: "The antidote is not in Jincheng."
Where is it?
"You shall withdraw your troops and leave Jincheng."
“Okay.” The Seventh Prince nodded without hesitation.
Empress Yan said in a deep voice, "The antidote will be delivered on the third day after you leave."
“If you deceive me again, I will definitely come back and kill you with my own hands.” The Seventh Prince’s eyes were resolute. He added, “My Second Brother has ascended the throne and will not make things difficult for you. From now on, you should take care of yourself.”
"The Second Prince?" Empress Yan was surprised, then smiled, her face full of sarcasm.
The seventh prince was unaware of this.
He said to General Zuo, "Let's go!"
General Zuo's eyelids twitched violently, and he felt uneasy. He nodded and followed the Seventh Prince, leading his troops away.
Princess Jia Hua was held in the arms of the Seventh Prince, who covered her with a cloak.
Princess Jia Hua, who had turned into a phantom, stood still, not yet following.
"idiot!"
She heard Empress Yan suddenly curse.
I don't understand.
Until two hours later
An army of 150,000 was suddenly surrounded by a large army in Yuncheng, 30 miles away from Jincheng, led by General Huo Xi.
General Huo Xi was a confidant of the Southern Frontier Emperor.
He was expelled from Jincheng a few years ago for making a mistake.
Yuncheng became a battlefield.
"Huo Xi, have you gone mad? Fighting your own people?" General Zuo asked angrily.
Huo Xi raised an eyelid, ignoring the Left General, and looked at the Seventh Prince: "Today, I can only allow Your Highness to leave. The rest of you must stay."
The Seventh Prince frowned.
"Your Highness, the antidote is here. If the Princess Consort does not take it today, they will truly be separated from each other forever..." Huo Xi said.
General Zuo was both angry and anxious. He suddenly realized that the reinforcements Huo Xi had brought today were actually from another country. He frowned and said, "Huo Xi was able to bring so many people into the city right under everyone's noses. He must have planned this all along."
The Seventh Prince's eyes flashed, and he thought of someone else incredulously: "You are...the Second Prince's man?"
Huo Xi smiled and did not deny it.
The seventh prince gripped the reins tightly, his heart aching with pain. His most trusted second brother had also lied to him.
I was stunned for a long time.
Huo Xi looked at the Seventh Prince: "Your Highness led troops into Jin without imperial decree, which is a capital offense. I can turn a blind eye because of your many military achievements, but these 150,000 troops must not leave Jin City and must be incorporated into the military camp."
The Seventh Prince scoffed: "You?"
"I know Your Highness is brave and skilled in battle, but I would like to remind Your Highness that Your Highness's title is not legitimate and your words are not in accordance with the law."
"Your Highness, why waste time arguing with him? Let's just charge out." General Zuo angrily drew his sword, completely disregarding his opponent.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a guard behind him leaped up, and with a soft thud, a long sword pierced his body.
The left general's chest was pierced.
He turned his head in disbelief.
"General, we do not want to rebel."
"We are too."
As they spoke, countless guards lowered their swords, and the leading lieutenants lowered their heads.
General Zuo was dumbfounded. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. He swayed and was about to fall off his horse when the Seventh Prince reached out and pulled him back.
"Kill!" Huo Xi gave the order.
Swords clashed and countless battles raged.
The seventh prince moved his sword, only to find that his limbs were also powerless, limp and unable to be lifted at all.
Huo Xi leaped up and stood opposite the Seventh Prince, gritting his teeth as he said, "If it weren't for Your Highness's excessive sharpness, why would I have had to endure for so many years and wander far from home?"
Princess Jia Hua floated in the air, watching as Huo Xi injured the Seventh Prince.
They will be captured alive.
With morale low, the remaining soldiers quickly surrendered under the instigation of several lieutenants.
...
The seventh prince was imprisoned in his residence.
This hurdle lasted for two whole years.
Two years after the war, Empress Yan remained the high and mighty empress, while the second prince became the crown prince and enjoyed exclusive favor.
Huo Xi replaced the Seventh Prince and became a general in name and in fact.
Those who died that day have long been forgotten.
Princess Jia Hua also spent two years in the Seventh Prince's residence.
Until I happened to hear that the emperor of Northern Chu had passed away.
"That fifth prince of Northern Chu is truly ruthless. He plotted to seize power, killed the emperor of Northern Qi, and took his place."
"That scoundrel is unpopular and will not have a good end."
Princess Jia Hua was suddenly stunned. The Fifth Prince killed the Fourth Prince and ascended the throne?
Before she could even process what was happening, Empress Yan, dressed in ordinary clothes, came to the prince's residence that day. She came every month.
The seventh prince contemplated suicide.
But Empress Yan deceived him: "The people of Northern Chu are taking Zhao Jiahua away. She is still alive. Before she left, she asked someone to tell her that she will come back to find you one day."
Because of this one sentence, the Seventh Prince held on for two years.
"The Northern Chu has a new emperor. The new emperor died after only two years on the throne. The current emperor is the former fifth prince."
"The first thing the Northern Chu Emperor did after taking the throne was to conscript men, which had already caused widespread resentment among the people."
The seventh prince's dark pupils flickered, as if they had gained color.
